Rule 1) never ID players while walking your dogs.

Rule 2) old mistakes by others are easier to repeat than making new ones yourself. In the Topps files this player was identified as Joe DeLucia and I assume when this gets posted on eBay the mistake will continue.

In fact he's Joe DeLuise, photographed in spring training 1966. He's also in the TSN Baseball Guide in 1969 as ERA champ of the California League in '68. Joseph DeLuise Register Statistics & History | Baseball-Reference.com

Also: I agree on DeFilippis. The lighting of the spring training shot fits with others from Reds 1977, not with Reds 1980.
